Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (CAS 1493-13-6, CF₃SO₃H), commonly known as triflic acid, is a superacid synthesized via the fluorination of sulfur trioxide. It serves as a potent proton donor in organic synthesis.
Strictly corrosive; requires acid-resistant storage vessels. Personal protective equipment including face shields and chemical gloves is mandatory to prevent severe tissue damage.
